2. Welcome to your UK Home
We know that offering students multiple and rich
opportunities to connect to campus life, in and out of the
classroom, greatly enhances their academic success,
especially in the first year of college.
Students who live on campus

likely to develop close friendships
and are more successful at
adjusting to the demands of
college.
